You do nowI don't know anyone with the mjolnir steel
TBH I'd have preferred Reynolds too because of the pedigree, but having initially been shopping for a £500 bike, and then deciding to max out the Cyclescheme at £1k, and then going up to £1,100 after falling in love with the Genesis....there was no way I could then stretch to £1,500 for the Disc 20.
Have tested the Disc 10 I thought the Mjolnir gave a lovely ride, but I haven't had chance to ride the Reynolds for comparison. The bloke in the shop said that the Mjolnir is Genesis' own frame, that they're starting at the bottom and plan to expand gradually up the range until they are making their own frames for a big chunk of their range. This will allow them better control of design and, eventually, increase their profit margins over having to buy frames in.
I don't know how true this is, but it's what I was told.
